Stephen Harper thinks of himself as a good Christian -- we think climate criminal, future destroyer, and international treaty saboteur are currently more accurate descriptors... so we hold these vigils with the sincere hope he'll change.

Come learn more about 'carbon debt'[1],[2] and how Canada should pay it down.

Join us for a modern day take on the Charles Dicken's Christmas Coral morality tale, featuring the ghosts of Climate Past, Present and Future, and Santa Claus, bearing a gift of coal for Stephen Harper, who, according to George W. Bush, is doing a "heck of a job." We disagree with that assessment when it comes to Harper's role as saboteur in international climate chaos treaty negotiations, and in ignoring the large carbon debt that Canada and other long-industrialized nations owe to developing countries.

Take the #3 Hurdman bus from the Rideau Centre at 6:09 p.m. to arrive at 24 Sussex at 6:17 p.m.
